|
|
The Breakfast Club BBS (TBC) is
|
|
pleased to announce the opening of the
|
|
AUGS Network.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Atari User Group Station is THE
|
|
place for ALL Atari User Groups to get
|
|
the information that they need to
|
|
better serve their members. This
|
|
includes all of the -online-
|
|
magazines, individual articles on a
|
|
wide range of topics, files for club
|
|
disks, industry information, and much
|
|
more.
|
|
|
|
All of this information is presented in
|
|
an easy to find manner and is provided
|
|
FREE to all Atari User Groups!!
|
|
(Except, of course, the cost of your
|
|
phone call! TBC and AUGS are
|
|
PC Pursuit-able to help reduce the cost
|
|
of your calls.) All you need do is
|
|
call and get the information that you
|
|
need.
|
|
|
|
|
|
All registered Atari User Groups are
|
|
allowed one account with UG access
|
|
level. This means that, as an official
|
|
User Group, you will have up to 90
|
|
minutes per call with NO total daily
|
|
time limit and UNLIMITED access to
|
|
download files! That's right! No
|
|
upload:download ratio, unlimited time,
|
|
and all for FREE!!
|
|
|
|
Individuals may use the AUGS area, but
|
|
there is a 60 minute per day time limit
|
|
and an upload:download ratio of 1:7.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The AUGS Network is a special area
|
|
within TBC BBS with its own message
|
|
bases (8 of them), E-Mail area, and
|
|
File Bench so there is no need for you
|
|
to wade through all the -routine- BBS
|
|
activities to get what you need. This
|
|
will save you and your User Group $$$
|
|
in phone bills!
|
|
|
|
|
|
AUGS supports ALL Atari computers from
|
|
the -old reliable- 400 to the state of
|
|
the art ST/Mega and the soon to arrive
|
|
TT, STACY, and beyond. As the machines
|
|
arrive and the need crops up, AUGS will
|
|
be there with the latest information
|
|
for you and your User Group.
|
|
|
|
The main service that AUGS provides is
|
|
to supply Atari User Groups with an
|
|
easy and fast way to get articles for
|
|
their newsletters. If other services
|
|
should be needed in the future, AUGS
|
|
will add them in a timely and useful
|
|
manner.
|
|
|
|
AUGS calls several of the -online
|
|
services- every day, is in close
|
|
contact with Atari Corp. and a number
|
|
of third party developers for both
|
|
Atari 8-bits and STs, and makes
|
|
frequent checks of other sources of
|
|
information so that the information
|
|
provided is up to date, concise, and,
|
|
above all, accurate. This frees your
|
|
User Group newsletter editor from the
|
|
hassles, time expense, and monitary
|
|
expense of having to call all over
|
|
to get the needed information. One
|
|
source, one call.
|
|
|
|
AUGS will even handle -special
|
|
requests- for information for you!
|
|
Just drop the AUGS SysOps a note with
|
|
the details of what it is that you
|
|
need, and we will be happy to make a
|
|
complete search for it and get back to
|
|
you. Sort of an -online encyclopedia-
|
|
for User Groups!
|
|
|
|
|
|
To reach AUGS, just call The Breakfast
|
|
Club BBS at:
|
|

|
If you are a new caller to AUGS, when
|

|
|
hit RETURN/ENTER.
|

SysOps Needed!
|
|
|
|
|
|
We faced a problem. Not all literature
|
|
and important programs could be
|
|
distributed to all F.A.C.E. members
|
|
through the mails. It was simply too
|
|
expensive. It is possible to upload
|
|
these files to GEnie, but not all
|
|
F.A.C.E. members have GEnie accounts.
|
|
In addition, only club members should
|
|
receive these files.
|
|
|
|
So, we have come up with a plan. We
|
|
need distribution center BBSes across
|
|
the U.S. and Europe, where F.A.C.E.
|
|
members are concentrated. Files will
|
|
be sent directly to the operators of
|
|
distribution BBSes.
|
|
|
|
The numbers of BBSes in each region
|
|
will be listed in Atari Talk. Members
|
|
will be able to call a BBS near their
|
|
home, minimizing or eliminating long
|
|
distance charges.
|
|
|
|
If you are interested in becoming a
|
|
SysOp of a distribution center, please
|
|
write to the address listed at the end
|
|
of this text file!

XE Game System: Review
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have sold my trusy 800XL for an XE
|
|
Game System. This great little
|
|
computer features a detatchable
|
|
keyboard, a light gun, and comes with
|
|
three games:
|
|
|
|
Flight Simulator II
|
|
Bug Hunt
|
|
Missile Command
|
|
|
|
|
|
The keyboard is rather mushy, which
|
|
makes typing-in articles (like this
|
|
one) very precarious. Programmers
|
|
should stick with their 800s or 800XLs,
|
|
and even the 130XE keyboard is better
|
|
than this.
|
|
|
|
As a game machine with occasional use
|
|
as a computer, the XE GS is a fantastic
|
|
device. Many mail order firms have
|
|
been selling the GS for only $99.99,
|
|
which means that if you bought a light
|
|
gun, light gun game, and Flight
|
|
Simulator II, you would have spent just
|
|
as much as you would for a whole
|
|
system!
|
|
|
|
Recommendation: Great buy for novices
|
|
& gamers.

New Newsletter?
|
|
|
|
|
|
For a long time, the F.A.C.E.
|
|
newsletter has been overcrowded.
|
|
Finally, something is being done about
|
|
it. Although we cannot go into more
|
|
details at this time, we have developed
|
|
a way to quadruple newsletter space
|
|
without increasing costs!
|
|
|
|

F.A.C.E. is free to all atari 8-bit

information on F.A.C.E. activities,
|
|
software reviews, and a complete

|
already in the library placed on the
